Someone I met on Twitter says they can introduce me to a papa (a male supporter) who’ll give me a monthly allowance of ¥3 million.
This content is machine-translated.
That’s an incredibly large amount, and since the introduction is coming from someone I only met on Twitter, I honestly don’t trust it…
Of course I’d be thrilled if I really could receive ¥3 million a month, but… do you think I should believe this offer?
It’s probably a scam.
They’ll likely make you buy some kind of information product before introducing you, or charge you hundreds of thousands of yen in membership fees.
It’s Twitter, with no identity verification. You’re better off not trusting it.

I’m female member Potassium.
Go and see for yourself whether it’s true, then please report back.
Just as I’m saying this so casually, the person who invited you may also be inviting you irresponsibly.
I’m deliberately being irresponsible here.
Because if the questioner actually goes to see for themselves, I get the benefit of finding out whether the story is true or false—and, happily, I have absolutely nothing to lose.
That person who invited you is introducing you for the same reason: they have nothing to gain but benefits from referring you.
If they were the one paying you 3 million yen, there would be drawbacks for them.
By the way, I was bored, so I looked up how much you could get for selling organs.
The world is seriously something else.
Just my personal opinion.

It sounds obviously suspicious… though I suppose there may be people who really would give you ¥3 million, so you’ll have to decide that for yourself.
Looking at it from a slightly different angle: You seem to be focusing only on receiving ¥3 million, but what are you giving the other person in return?
You should also consider the possibility that, after giving you the money, they might threaten you by saying, “You received that much, so you’d better do ○○—or else…”

If it were me, I’d go and see whether it’s true.
I’m just naturally curious.
I can’t take responsibility for anyone else, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

If I were a scammer, I think I’d immediately see that you were an easy target.
I can tell from the way you think, based on your question:
- You think from your own perspective rather than the scammer’s.
- You leave the decision about an offer up to someone else.
- What you say is inconsistent.
I suspect that, when you explained to him why you couldn’t immediately accept the offer of a papa who would give you ¥3 million, you said something that made him think, “This person is an easy target.”
There are several standard templates for profitable scams. They’re systematized, with scripts based on behavioral psychology. It’s just like running a business.
The person you met through Twitter is acting as the intermediary between you and the ¥3 million papa, so he has some kind of vested interest in the arrangement. In other words, if you show interest in the ¥3 million papa’s offer, the guy from Twitter profits too. That’s how it looks from the scammer’s perspective. Simple, right?
From your perspective, though, it becomes, “I’d be happy to receive ¥3 million.”
Do you really think this Twitter guy would go out of his way to make time and bring you an offer like this if he wasn’t going to make any money from it?
It’s me.

Contact the police and ask them to conduct an undercover operation.
I find it hard to believe that someone in their twenties wouldn’t understand something even an elementary school student could figure out…
People with a lot of money generally don’t use Twitter very much. Please be more skeptical about all of this—I’m worried about you.

You’ve said yourself that you don’t trust him, so I think you already have your answer…
That doesn’t mean I can say with absolute certainty that he doesn’t exist, though. Before long, you’ll probably see a news story about someone running a Twitter scam claiming to introduce men who’ll give you ¥3 million a month. I wonder if you’d still go through with it after being charged an introduction fee…
You might want to think again about whether receiving ¥3 million is really worth it when you have no idea what you might be made to do.
Or why not hear the details first? If you genuinely think, “Even if I’m shipped overseas, ¥3 million would be worth it,” then that’s your choice.
Ultimately, it’s up to you.

From my perspective, I have no idea what kind of things this person has posted on Twitter, so I can’t judge whether they’re trustworthy.
By common-sense standards, a claim of ¥3 million a month sounds too good to be true. Still, I think it might be worth getting an introduction just to hear what they have to say.
That said, if they ask you to pay money in order to receive that ¥3 million, then no matter how convincing their story may seem, you should assume it’s a scam. You should also take precautions in case they suddenly stop responding and cut off contact.

If he takes you abroad, you might not be able to return safely for a while.
If it’s within Japan, that papa (a male supporter) has plenty of competition, so whether you can keep seeing him depends on you.

Think it through carefully and make your own decision.
Anyone who can believe a story like this is likely to be targeted with plenty of scams in the future.
